Linux Installation

  1. Optional - Depending on the environment, there may be a need to install additional tools to run VirtServer.

    For example, if you need to download ReadyAPI, you need a tool like wget.

    Scriptsudo apt-get install wget

  2. Use an appropriate tool (for example, wget) to download a version of VirtServer.

    Scriptwget https://dl.eviware.com/virtserver/3.17.0/virtserver-x64-3.17.0.sh

    https://dl.eviware.com/virtserver/3.17.0/VirtServer-x64-3.17.0.exe

  3. Optional - You may need to set permissions on the file to allow installation.

    Scriptchmod a+x VirtServer-x64-3.17.0.sh

  4. Install VirtServer from the downloaded location.

    • When installing VirtServer, there are additional parameter options that can be specified. For example, you may want to install and start VirtServer as a service.

    • Optional: If installing VirtServer on a Linux Machine, you need to do additional configuration. For details, see the instructions for running VirtServer as a service on Linux.

    Scriptsudo sh VirtServer-x64-3.17.0.sh q -Dservice.install=true -Dservice.autostart=true

  5. Running services may take a few seconds to become available, so you may want to add an optional delay before proceeding to the next step.

    Script: sleep 3'
